The
Day the Earth Burns Up

Mal. 4:1 - "For,
behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all
the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble:
and the day that cometh shall burn them up, said the Lord of
hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch."

Malachi, the last book of the OT, probably 400 years BC, also
told the Jews about the coming of the Messiah, "I will
send my messenger." Mal.3:1.

There is no place in the universe where hell is burning people
right now. All the dead ones, be wicked or a saint, they are
resting unconscious in the dust of the ground. Ecc. 9: 5, 6,
10. The Bible talks about a day, in the future, when the earth
will burn up, the lake of fire, hell. That day, Satan, his angels,
and the wicked whose names are not in the Book of Life, shall
perish; they will be permanently destroyed, as the earth is
purified with fire. When the fire consumes everything and the
earth cools down, "ye shall tread down the wicked; for
they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day
that I should do this, saith the Lord of hosts." Mal. 4:
3.

When that will be? Just a little over one thousand years from
now. To track down the time, let us align the big prophetic
